Trivia

Vagrant Story, despite being a commercial failure (due to low advertising), is considered a "perfect" game by Famitsu (a Japanese gaming magazine), and is one of its legendary five "greatest ever games". It is the third game ever to reach this status, and the first game by SquareSoft, now named Square-Enix, to earn this rating.

The English language used in the US/UK version of this game is close to the one used by Shakespeare, and some characters have names taken from different tragedies by Shakespeare. Romeo Guildenstern, one of the game's main characters, is a combination of Romeo from "Romeo and Juliett", and Guildenstern from "Hamlet". Rosenkrantz is also a character from "Hamlet".
